    "You're from Louisiana, right?"

    No. No. No. Nuh-uh. Nope. Can you tell that this one kind of stands by itself? There is this awesome border between Texas and Louisiana called the Sabine River. Educate yourself.

    "I've lived here more than one year - that makes me a true East Texan, right?"
